 Requirement Overview:

Prevent bundles from being reconfigured in Renewal Quotes while allowing configuration during new or amendment Quotes.

 Solution:

Use a Custom Action Condition to control when the Reconfigure Line action is available.

Set the condition to exclude Renewal Quotes (SBQQ__Type__c != "Renewal").

 Steps to Configure:

Navigate to the Custom Action Condition related to the Reconfigure Line action.

Set the condition criteria to ensure the action is only available for non-Renewal Quotes.

 Validation:

Test by creating Renewal, New, and Amendment Quotes and verifying the Reconfigure Line action behaves as expected.

 Requirement Overview:

A Percent of Total option in a multi-level bundle must calculate its value based on other options in the same level.

 Key Configuration:

The Percent of Total Scope field determines the scope of the calculation.

Setting it to Components limits the calculation to options within the same bundle level.

 Steps to Configure:

Navigate to the Product Option record for the Percent of Total option.

Set Percent of Total Scope to Components.

 Validation:

Add the bundle to a Quote and verify that the Percent of Total calculation includes only the options at the same level.

 Requirement:

Amend an active contract and adjust prices for subscriptions and assets based on new discounts.

 Solution:

Use the Amend Contract process.

Adjust prices for subscriptions or assets directly by modifying the Net Price or Price field.

Use the Refresh Prices button to apply changes to the amended contract.

 Why Other Options are Incorrect:

A: Cloning Quote Lines is unnecessary and inefficient for contract amendments.

B: Changing the contract status to Draft is not supported in standard CPQ.

D: Creating a new Price Book is not required for this use case.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

The Amendments Process is extensively documented in CPQ Subscription Management ​.

 Requirement Overview:

Universal Containers wants to use split Orders to manage fulfillment by separating items based on their shipping schedules.

 Key Considerations:

Component-type Options: When splitting Orders, component-type Options are treated independently and can be split into different Orders.

Bundle Structure: Splitting Orders does not maintain the bundle structure, meaning the parent-child relationships of the bundle are not preserved in the split Orders.

 Steps to Configure:

Ensure that the Order by Quote Line Group field or a custom grouping field is used to facilitate splitting the Orders based on shipment schedules.

 Validation:

Test the split Order functionality by creating a Quote with a hardware bundle and ensuring that the bundle and components can be split appropriately.

 Requirement:

Clients can negotiate a discount for Product A until a specified date before contract activation.

 Relevant Fields on the Contracted Price Record:

Product: Identifies Product A as the subject of the negotiated price.

Expiration Date: Specifies the end of the discount eligibility period.

Discount: Sets the agreed discount percentage for the negotiated price.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Contracted Price Record management is key to implementing client-specific pricing strategies ​.

 Requirement Overview:

Maintenance Feature: At least one Product Option must be selected.

Support Feature: At least one and no more than two Product Options must be selected.

 Key Configurations:

Min Options = 1: Ensures users select at least one option.

Max Options = 2: Ensures users cannot select more than two options.

 Steps to Configure:

Navigate to the Feature Record for Maintenance and set Min Options = 1.

Navigate to the Feature Record for Support and set Min Options = 1 and Max Options = 2.

 Validation:

Test the bundle in the Quote Line Editor and verify the selection behavior for both Features.

 Issue Context:

Lookup Price Rules rely on the SBQQ__LookupObject__c field to reference the target object (e.g., Rental Rates).

If this API name is inaccurate or incorrectly input, the rule will fail to retrieve the desired value.

 Review Steps:

Go to the Price Rule record.

Check the SBQQ__LookupObject__c field. Confirm the API Name of the Rental Rates object is accurate.

Example: Ensure the API name matches exactly (e.g., Rental_Rates__c).

 Additional Checks:

Verify the Lookup Queries. Ensure the filter conditions correctly target a valid record on the referenced object.

 Salesforce Documentation Reference:This behavior follows Salesforce CPQ's guidelines on Lookup Price Rules configuration​​.

 Subscription Product Configuration:

Product B uses the Percent of Total pricing model based on Product A's Net Price.

Product B's Percent of Total Base is set to "Net," and its Percent of Total Target is set to Product A.

Product B's Percent of Total (%) is configured as 10%.

 Calculation:

Product A Net Total = $2,400

Product B Net Total = 10% of Product A Net Total = 2,400×0.1=2402,400 \times 0.1 = 2402,400×0.1=240.

 Salesforce CPQ Reference:

Percent of Total pricing logic is described under Percent of Total Products ​.

Universal Containers requires a dynamic approach to display the Monthly Price column on the Quote Document only when the Payment Terms field is set to "Net 30". Here's how to achieve this:

Step 1: Create a Monthly Price Line Column

Navigate to Quote Templates in Salesforce CPQ.

Select the relevant Quote Template.

In the Line Columns related list:

Create a new Line Column for "Monthly Price."

Configure the desired settings for how the Monthly Price should display in the PDF.

Step 2: Create a Custom Formula Field

Navigate to Setup > Object Manager > Quote.

Create a custom formula field (e.g., Show_Monthly_Price) on the Quote object:

Type: Formula (Checkbox).

Formula Logic: IF(Payment_Terms__c = "Net 30", TRUE, FALSE).

Replace Payment_Terms__c with the API name of the Payment Terms field.

This formula ensures the field returns TRUE only when Payment Terms equals "Net 30."

Step 3: Configure Conditional Print Field on the Line Column

Return to the Quote Template and edit the Monthly Price Line Column.

Set the Conditional Print Field to Show_Monthly_Price.

This links the visibility of the Monthly Price column to the custom formula field you created​​.

Step 4: Validate in Quote Document

Generate a Quote Document for a Quote where Payment Terms are set to "Net 30."

The Monthly Price column should appear in the PDF.

Change the Payment Terms to a value other than "Net 30" and regenerate the document.

The Monthly Price column should not appear.

Step 5: Optional Enhancements

Discard Width When Hidden:In the Monthly Price Line Column, enable this setting to avoid column width adjustments when the column is hidden.

Test Across Use Cases:Validate across different Payment Terms to ensure robust behavior.

By using a combination of the Conditional Print Field and a custom formula field, Universal Containers can dynamically control the visibility of the Monthly Price column​​.
